Which side of the plane to sit from Turbat International Airport (Turbat) to Muscat International Airport (Muscat)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic geological formations of the Makran Coastal Range during departure and the striking Al Hajar Mountains upon arrival in Oman.
Makran Coastal Range
Stunning, moon-like desert mountains and ridges of Balochistan immediately after takeoff from Turbat.
Gwadar Peninsula
Depending on the specific air corridor, the distinct hammerhead-shaped peninsula of Gwadar may be visible.
Al Hajar Mountains
The rugged, dark limestone peaks of Oman rising sharply from the desert floor as the aircraft enters Omani airspace.
Gulf Sunset
On evening flights, this side experiences spectacular sunsets over the horizon of the Gulf of Oman.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the golden hour light hitting the jagged Omani mountains. Ensure you have your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of departure for the unique Pakistani terrain.
Arabian Sea Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue waters where the Gulf of Oman meets the Arabian Sea.
Batinah Coastline
The long, sandy stretch of Oman's northern coast visible as the plane descends toward Muscat.
Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
During specific landing patterns, the iconic minarets and golden dome are visible nestled in the city.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides a better perspective of the turquoise coastal waters and the urban sprawl of Seeb and Muscat during the final approach.
